many thanks for this great post with this beautiful pics and this very good and touching story. I agree absolutely with Charlotte, it's a real refreshment for heard and soul to visit you and your wonderful world.

These are fantastic photos. Love your series here. You have a beautiful nature around you. Lovely blue sky, the colors are so great then. And then you have taken pictures of bears, too. Exciting experience then.Have a lovely week to you.Greetings from Hilda

Beautiful. Have you ever gone out to that circle-island?A circle of sacred space.

Someone else will use the den now, I imagine. I know fishers love holes in trees for dens. Do you have fishers? Maybe wolverines like that, too. I know they've been coming back down a bit more south...

What a fantastic post and pictures!! =) Oh I'm so sorry they lost their sweet home, I was sad when reading that.. :( I wonder.. where did they go??Of course I remember the picture of the peninsula dressed in autum colors.. :) But the earlier post of the bears I missed! But now I've seen it, very beautiful and fascinating pictures! =)

The traces I don't know.. it must be an animal loving the water.. so maybe a river otter?

So touchingly beautiful. I, too, am wondering what tracks those might be. I often wonder that when I see animal tracks in the snow...it's fun to guess. Sorry that the bears lost their home - but what a spiritual experience it must have been for you to gaze upon their marks on the trees and sit where they had once made their home.

I never realized that a den could be "UP" in a tree! Down on the ground ,yes, but this is fascinating. I suppose someone else will move into the apartment, now that it is lying horizontal. Maybe a rabbit family or chipmunks. Could the footprints be ducks or geese? It is hard to tell from so far away! Thank you for the card and the sentiments. That was a nice! If I can ever be of help in your book endeavors just ask. I am good at giving out information, if nothing else. It is never too late to follow your dream, I didn't publish my first book till I was 50.

Dear Tammie, doyou know how much I enjoyed reading your story and seeing your photos?. A lot!!!. It was beautiful to walk with you for your beautiful places, how wonderful!. It is also very beautiful to see how you feel the land where you live. Thank you!A big hug

Mmmm. That first photo has such a special feeling about it. I look at the edge of the water, the line of trees in the snow, and a little chill passes through me.I LOVE that you sat in the den. Love it.
